ADE'S ESOL INSTITUE ANNOUNCEMENT

Arkansas Tech University has received a grant from the Arkansas Department of Education to offer an ESOL Institute in 2021-2022 that will feature nationally recognized TESOL scholars and teachers such as Drs. Keith Folse, Elena Izquierdo, and Lynda Franco. We will offer five online workshops from June 14-18, 2021 and five online workshops during the 2021-2022 academic year. These sessions are tentatively scheduled for September 11, 2021; October 23, 2021; November 13, 2021; January 29, 2022; and February 12, 2022. Successful completion of the ten workshops and online assignments will earn participants twelve graduate hours of credit that will partially fulfill requirements for an ESL endorsement. The entire cost of tuition and materials will be covered by the DESE grant. Participants will be responsible for a $40 application fee and the cost of the Praxis 5362 examination.
